The Brothers Four - Blue Water Line lyrics

The City Council met last night, the vote was four to three To tear the home town depot down and build a factory To take that stretch of history and tear it off the map And to take old engine number nine and turn it into scrap Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line If you can't afford a quarter Then you ought to give a dime If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line Oh I could tell you stories of the glories of that train Of the 49'er miners and the time old Jesse James Stole a thousand golden nuggets in that great train robbery And when old Abe Lincoln rode with Tad upon his knee Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line If you can't afford a quarter Then you ought to give a dime If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line Just twenty thousand quarters and forty thousand dimes And we'll ride again to glory on that old Blue Water Line We'll have William Jennings Bryant Stokin' coal on number nine So reach into your pockets boys for the old Blue Water Line Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line If you can't afford a quarter Then you ought to give a dime If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line...
